Abstract
A multi-directional single lever control for a transmission with at least two modes of operation comprises two juxtaposed sets of speeds correlating to these modes. The shift lever pivoting with a lever mount in one direction engages speeds working in one mode and pivoting about the lever mount selectively engages oppositely aligned speeds in either mode of operation. A switch actuated by the shift lever rotation about the mount lever controls, a valve assembly for rerouting fluid flow into passages corresponding to a selected mode of operation.
